After taking the evidence, Lu Yuanqiu took him to the warehouse. "How much did you take?" The girl leaned against the wall, silent and reserved: "That's all, that's all." Lu Yuanqiu knew her. The girl's name was Bai Qingxia, and she went to the same school as him. Aloof, unapproachable, and cold-faced school beauty are all synonyms for her. The untouchable white moonlight in other people's eyes has been cornered by himself in this way today. Lu Yuanqiu silently told himself that he could not let her go today, no matter what. In her previous life, Bai Qingxia did the same thing in the supermarket, but Lu Yuanqiu, out of consideration for her feelings, chose to turn a blind eye. As a result, Bai Qingxia was involved in a car accident after leaving home. This incident became a thorn in Lu Yuanqiu's side. If he had been ruthless enough to stop Bai Qingxia that day, the tragedy that followed would not have happened. So this time, he wanted to stall for time and give the school beauty a stern lecture! Looking at the school beauty in the corner, her eyes red with humiliation, Lu Yuanqiu continued to question her: "Are you sure that's all?" "There's something bulging inside the school uniform, is there something hidden inside?!"
